Hi all,
We had previously restricted scheduled API workflows from scheduling themselves (or scheduling another workflow that then scheduled itself). This restriction is now removed.
Recursive scheduled workflows can be useful in situations where you are processing an unknown quantity of data that might be quite large. For instance, the following workflow will make sure every Thing in your database has been processed within 7 days:
[39%20PM][45%20PM]
Processing data this way is generally …

I have taken the time to learn plugins. In Javascript you can loop to your heart’s content and get the answer in a jiffy. (sorry for the English colloquialisms). Doesn’t work for everything, but can be handy for lots of situations.
I’ve written some beginners guides to plugins to get you going!

for example, you could press a button to trigger the “do something every x seconds”.

Set the X to .01 seconds. (Of course Bubble ain’t gonna serve you up 100 operations a second, but it doesn’t hurt to ask. I haven’t clocked the speed of iteration but it’s pretty quick. If you need something speedier than the templated universe that is bubble, dig into a plugin or run something in an HTML window.

Anywho, Drop me a line if you have more trouble with while loops, for loops, or iteration in general.

It’s quite simple here with the tools that Bubble hath bestowed upon the net.
